Story
It’s PRIDE month (1st – 30th June 2023) and the EDI committee are as usual cooking up a fun event to celebrate. So this year, lace up your trainers, clip on your clips, charge up your electric scooter or roll up your chair because we’re going on a FUN RUN (/walk/cycle/scoot/handstand walk or any other form of locomotion).
On Tuesday 4th July we are asking staff to participate in a 5km adventure around your local area to help raise money for an important cause. Whether you choose to walk, run, cycle, drive, or engage in any other preferred activity, the goal is to come together and make a difference. If 5km feels too challenging, don't worry! Feel free to participate with a shorter distance. Remember, it's all about participating and showing your support that truly matters.
If you're in the UK office on the 4th July, we have a designated route planned to start from the office. On the event day, we'll gather and set off together at 5:30 PM. You can choose your preferred activity and distance to participate in, whether it's walking, running, or any other form of exercise you enjoy.
For those located elsewhere, please feel free to participate at any time that suits you best. Join in the event whenever works for you!
It’s a £5 buy in to take part via a donation to our chosen charity, and we actively encourage you to seek additional sponsorship from friends, family and colleagues. Garrison has kindly agreed to match donations!
This year we have chosen to support ‘Out Right International’ who pledge their support to Ugandan activists who sacrifice their safety and security to defend human rights in response to Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni signing the 2023 Anti-Homosexuality Bill, one of the world's toughest anti-LGBTQ laws.
